The rapid increase in the scope and quality of knowledge in the health care field requires continuing education for nurses, especially nurse leaders.
A survey was conducted among 296 nurse leaders from 15 hospitals, accounting for 87% of all hospital nurses in Slovenia.
The survey showed that participation in continuing education was lowest among younger nurse leaders, those with lower leadership positions, and those employed at medium-sized general hospitals and specialized (nonpsychiatric) hospitals. The total number of continuing education hours did not affect self-assessment of knowledge among nurse leaders.
Slovenia's experiences in this area indicate that greater attention must be paid to an equal distribution of continuing education programs among the various groups of nurse leaders. Additionally, it is important to monitor the quality of program implementation.
医疗保健领域知识的范围和质量迅速增长,这要求护士,尤其是护士领导者持续接受教育。
对来自15家医院的296名护士领导者进行了调查,这些领导者占斯洛文尼亚所有医院护士的87%。
调查显示,年轻的护士领导者、担任较低领导职位的护士领导者以及在中型综合医院和专科医院(非精神科)工作的护士领导者参加继续教育的比例最低。继续教育的总时长并未影响护士领导者对自身知识的评估。
斯洛文尼亚在这一领域的经验表明,必须更加关注继续教育项目在不同群体护士领导者中的平等分配。此外,监测项目实施的质量也很重要。
